You need to call your urologist.
Hello:
The issues here are: number 1, your innate bleeding system, and number 2, the surgeon must perform enough hemostatis (bleeding control) during the procedure so that you don't bleed after the procedure/surgery is completed. Your innate bleeding system has to be evaluated prior to surgery. All blood thinners must be discontinued about 5 days prior to surgery, such as,
Motrin, ASA, or Coumadin. Herbs that can cause blood thinning have to be discontinued as well. Therefore, be very honest and detailed with your physician. Regardless, surgery is a fine balance of your innate issues/comorbidities, anesthesia and the actual surgical procedure, so that everything goes well.

Dr Kelly.
